The West Wing is now just the Wing.

First football season since my Deptford-born Dad passed in June aged 94. In the 1930s and 40s he’d watch #Millwall one week and #Charlton the next, and supported both all his life. Maybe, just maybe, there is a heaven.

INTERVIEWER: You were born January 30, 1972 in Shreveport, Louisiana, correct? JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that, it's the first I'm hearing of it

Kier Starmer and all the other bandwagon jumpers telling us how Maccabi Tel Aviv themselves are anti-semitic in 5, 4, 3 . . . www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Fair play he doesn’t go to work wearing his ‘I’m a Tory Cunt’ shirt.

Boy oh boy did Bangladesh f*ck that up! #ICCWWC

Thanks Alan, top show #sts70s. See all you @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social dudes same time next week 50 years ago!

Controversial opinion, but I think Lucky Stars is lyrically one of the clunkiest piles o' shite ever written. #sts70s

Pint? #sts70s

Ahh, one of the most New York of all the New York songs ever released. "It's a thought you had in a taxicab That got left on the kerb When he dropped you off At East 83rd ooooh!" Genius lyrics. Probably my #SOTN #sts70s

Well this one's a newbie on me. Some big bongo action though. #sts70s

OMG, Standing In the Rain is one of Jeff's masterpieces! #sts70s

Wow, is it that time already? #sts70s Evening ladles and jellyspoons.

In the LEAST unexpected news of the day, Israel strikes Gaza and suspends aid delivery, after IDF and Hamas accuse each other of breaking the ceasefire.

"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements

Is anyone else's #RedZone sound cutting out?

Why are none of the major UK news outlets reporting that the President of the USA has sent out a video where he simulates dumping shit on his own people? Hey #BBCNews, #SkyNews - why isn't this news?

“So it looks like you’re flying a fighter jet and wearing a crown, but it turns out it’s really a bomber and the bombs are poops. You’re up there pooping on all the cities in America because you’re the king of America, and so of course you shit on it when it doesn’t behave. It’s high concept, sir.”

Police arrest 2,000+ pensioners for holding placards. Starmer: "The government can't be seen to be interfering in the police doing their job!" Police ban a group of known football hooligans. Starmer: "Hmmm . . ."

I have no idea what’s true and what’s not in these crazy times, but if POTUS is REALLY sending out a video of him piloting a war plane to drop excrement on protestors, my UK government can NEVER EVER AGAIN tell me this is a man we should be doing business with. He’s quite, quite mad. #DementiaDon

Never mind America. But all those world leaders - led by Starmer and Rutter - who think the correct way of dealing with Trump is paying obeisance, flattering and ass kissing - are you sure you're doing this right?

There's always a tweet.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

#NottmForest lose 3-0 to Chelsea, Big Ange "I always win a trophy" #Postecoglou gets the boot before the players are even out of the plunge bath.

How many UK politicians now demanding that fans of an Isreali football club with far-right, violent Ultras must have their right to attend a match defended at any cost had anything to say about the complete destruction of Palestinian sporting infrastructure and the killing of 300+ football players?

Amazing day going up Snowdon today - at base level the cloud was as low as 500ft, so not promising. But as we cleared around 2,000ft we emerged above the clouds, and this is what we got. I'm in no shape to do this hike any more (I got the train, of course!) but it's still worth getting up here.

BREAKING: Shabana Mahmood announces that immigrants will have to recite Beowulf in its entirety in Old English, without notes, before being allowed entry to the U.K.

Today’s #beerinthesun is one of these. If Mother Nature keeps this up, I may never go home. #NorthWales

Big drive around to regain my bearings today. It's been so long since I was in this part of the world I'd forgotten just how truly beautiful and majestic it is. Can't quite believe that in my younger days I hiked up most of these peaks! #Snowdonia

Be right back, just checking to see if there's a Nobel Whiny Little Beyatch Prize.

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

i’ll never get over this

I see once again that Farage is in the US, telling right wing fanboys how dreadful the UK is, and talking his usual bollocks about everything. If this man ever becomes PM, our children will never, ever forgive us for giving him free reign to destroy the country. He’s repellent, truly.

The #SkyGo app on a MacBook is the crashiest of shitty, crashy, crappy shite of every app that's ever existed.

This thread is very funny - and at the same time, deeply disturbing on so many levels. Not least that The Times seem to think that platforming a young man who supports incest is not really a problem.

Happy heavenly birthday to John Winston Lennon, who would have been 85 today.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

I'm not a huge country house aficionado, but blimey, #ChatsworthHouse is bloody impressive. #PeakDistrict

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Home for the next week. A little R&R, a lot of walking, fresh air and good food. I’m going to TRY and keep away from social media for a week. Try not to have the Revolution without me. #PeakDistrict #Vacation

Wow! Colombo not exactly heaving for India vs Pakistan in the Women’s ODI World Cup.

Want to see what Reform UK's politics would look like in government? 🇦🇷 Look to Argentina. Massive spike in poverty and a crashed economy. 📉 A template for disorder and chaos. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/oct/02/javier-milei-argentina-nigel-farage-donald-trump-elon-musk

British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies. Reform says something unhinged ⬇️ Labour counters with their own unhinged policy ⬇️ Tories shout from back they'll be even more unhinged ⬇️ Reform announces different unhinged proposal in response ⬇️ And repeat...🔁

There we go - the next step. "Protest once and that's yer lot, plebs". Of course Labour were going to further the Tory agenda of eventually outlawing protest completely. OF COURSE they were. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"The fucking plebs think we give a shit about them!" "I know, the fucking mugs! Now call Piers - we need an editorial saying how this is all Harry's fault!"

Hey it’s Russell Peters night in Riyadh - it’ll be a fantastic night for all at the comedy festival - well, probably not for Manahel al-Otaibi as she’s spending 11 years in prison for being “outspoken” about women’s rights www.amnesty.org.uk/urgent-actio...

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.
